The Alpha's only Weakness

4. Determined

Dexton walks towards me as he takes slow steps and sits in front of me on the opposite couch. He knows well what we are going to talk about. He slowly lifts his head and opens his mouth to speak something but nothing comes out. 

"Is Bree playing?" I ask.

"Yeah, he is in his room." He says. Well by Bree's room he means that Bree is in my room as we both share it cause I don't want him to stay away from me even for a minute.

"So, now would you please grace me with the information, Mr. Conner?" I ask sarcasm dripping through my words.

"Look, you know it wasn't our fault, that son of a b***h was talking s**t about you." He starts.

"Well this is what you always say that it wasn't your fault, but your fault is that you lose your temper," I state emphasizing what I said with the motion of my hands.

"I already told you that we won't start the fight but we won't back off too. I don't even know why we always talk about this. It isn't our fault and this time too it wasn't our fault and you know that too but still.." He says letting out a long breath.

"He badmouthed about you, he talked s**t about you and also all of us which was talked out by Jake, Max, and Ray and I took care of Lance. He was explaining his so-called imagination about you and I lost it. And now that I have told you everything I'm going to my room and I'm not going to apologize just like I didn't for my past fights because what I did was exactly what that bastard deserves and now we are clear." He says with irritation and starts moving towards his room when I get up tug at his arm. Well yeah, he always says that he will try to control his anger but always fails miserably. 

"Hey! I'm sorry. It's just that I don't want you to fight and knowing that the reason behind the fight is always me it .....it just hurts, you know." I say and he turns around, his eyes now soft, "I want you to ignore them, they will stop." I say knowing that was one hell of an impossible thing to wish about.

"You know that ain't gonna happen. And the fight isn't because of you, it's FOR you, it's in support of you cause we know what kind of a person you are but you don't know who they really are and Lance talked a lot today and even before he has advanced towards you and still does. I just want you to understand that I won't back off and won't tolerate them, even if in the function they did anything, I'm sorry but I won't hesitate to punch him in the face." He says with pure hatred dripping from his voice.

"Why do you hate them so much?" I ask knowing that I will only receive 'Just stay away from them' as an answer.   

"Just stay away from them." true to my estimation he says and moves towards his room but not without giving me a warm hug.  

I walk towards my own room following his action and notice Bree sleeping peacefully in the room. I walk over to him and kiss him on the forehead after which I move to complete some of my work.

1 Week Later- 

Today is the first day of the grand celebration with everything accurate and well unexpectedly going smooth as I really thought that Lance and group will pull some kind of prank and try to provoke Dexton but shockingly they didn't or 'is it just the calmness before the storm' the thought crosses my mind and soon enough I notice Lance staring deep in my eyes. I feel the need to go use the restroom and so I move from there. I do my business and open the door to walk out when strong arms pull me back and slam me in the wall and I get caged between the arms of none other than ........ Lance.

"What the hell are you doing here?" I shout at him but he just smirks at me.

"Shout all you want baby cause no one is going to listen to you." He says smirking and I realize that truly there is no escape and because of the loud music there is no way anyone would listen to me, thinking these tears start brimming my eyes, but I still gotta try my luck. I open my mouth to shout for help but he clamps his big palm over my mouth muffling my screams.

"I told you there is no use so why waste your time, huh?" He says.

He moves his head in the crook of my neck, his one hand holding my hands above my head and his other hand over my mouth refraining any voice to come out from my mouth. For some reason he moans, I try to knee him but with his huge body pressed against my small one, it is impossible at the moment. Tears that were once brimming in my eyes now stream freely down my cheeks. 'Dexton, Please, Please come and save me' and as if my prayers have been answered, someone knocks on the main door of the restroom. 

Lance ignored the knocking which only caused it to grow louder. He tries pulling me away from the basin and inside one of the stalls but I struggle against him and while struggling I hear Dexton's voice calling out for me impatiently.

"Open the door, Liza!!" He says in a desperate tone.

I try to speak up but with Lance's hand over my mouth, I can't. But just then I hear something being drop with a loud thud and on lifting my head I see a very furious Dexton standing there with his hands forming fists. He takes three long strides and pulls Lance towards him by his collar and without even sparing one second he starts beating the s**t out of him. 

After two minutes Jeremy, Nate, Samantha, Stacey comes and pull Dexton away from Lance but Dexton doesn't pay any attention to them. Remembering the celebration being held and the requests that Mr. Davis and Mr. Thompson made to me, I walk towards Dexton and hold him by his arms, he yanks his arm out of my grip not knowing that the one holding his arm this time was me and not someone else. 

"Dexton, Please.." I croak out and he lifts his head to have a look at me. After looking at my pleading eyes he pulls me in for a hug. I see Lance getting to his two feet and moving out of the restroom motioning his friends to follow. 

"I will not leave that son of a bi.." Dexton starts but I cut him off.

"Let's not create a scene here, there is celebration being held." I say but after not receiving anything in response, I insist "Please" I request.

"Just for now." He says. 

"Hmm, I know, I can't hold you back for long," I say.

We move outside walking onto the door now lying on the floor but that is not new to me. Mr. Thompson has many times asked me about the gate being broken always in the past to which I once said that it was a dare given to Dexton and twice saying that the door was jammed as the reason that I first gave didn't really help and yeah Dexton got scolding along with detention and all the while Dexton just stood there fuming to which I reply, "Just a bad day." 

Noticing my eyes, my friends ask me the reason and Dexton told them everything including something which I didn't know.

Flashback-

Dexton notice Lance going somewhere away from his group and doubted if he would go behind Liza as he tried earlier and that too more than once.

Following his instincts, he moves towards the girls' restroom after excusing himself from his friends. As he moves, someone blocks his way whom he recognizes as Stacey.

"You going behind Lance or Liza?" She says.

"That is none of your business." He retorts back.

"Well I just asked because in case you are not going towards the girls' restroom, you should go there cause Lance just followed Liza there and I'm afraid something might happen to Liza," she says smirking up at him.

"Well I was going just there and now I will beat the s**t out of your s**t of a boyfriend!" He says and starts moving feeling desperate now that his doubt got confirmed.

"Tell Liza to stay away from him or the consequences will not be good, and mind it when I say it, Conner." She says looking at him.

He turns around to have a look at her, "Don't you think it's the other way around, cause everybody knows that Lance is the one who has been behind Liza since the very first day. So tell your boyfriend to stay away from her." He says.

"Then why not be her boyfriend, you are close to Liza and from what I have heard you have been close to her ever since you were 7 and she was 6, so why make this difficult? Just be her boyfriend cause we all see how you protect her and treat her." She says, anger clearly visible in her green orbs.

He moves towards her, "There is nothing between us and right now I have much important thing to look into and also, me being Liza's boyfriend will make no difference." He says and starts walking towards the restroom but after two steps he stops and turns around, "And I'm capable enough of taking care of her without being her boyfriend." He says and moves away.

Flashback ends-

The rest of the day goes by with the professors enjoying themselves and everybody returns to their respective homes.

The next two days go quickly with the previous years' students celebrating and reminiscing and relishing their old sweet memories in different corners of the university. And then tomorrow was the day when in actual our university will complete its 100th anniversary and we'll have the celebration. Tomorrow, the chief guest will be welcomed. In the last two days, I faced no problem from Lance except his intense gaze to which I can never be used to. Tomorrow too I'll leave Bree at Ray's house and then I'll spend time with him and make it up to him and also we'll be provided two days holiday from the university.

Today our principal and vice-principal thanked me as there was no scene created by anyone's side. I didn't tell them about the incident that happened in the bathroom but I'll sure complain about it after the celebration. I never did it before cause I didn't want to create any kind of scene or anything and also I thought all this will be over soon. Many times Ray insisted on reporting the complaint against him to the principal but I restrained him. Dexton too said but complied with me and said he will be there every time and whenever I feel like telling this to anyone I can do it at that time itself.

Well in these two days nothing happened but what if this is really the calmness before the storm. I need to keep them away cause tomorrow is an important day with the chief guest and we can't have it ruined by some stupid.. okay, not stupid but still a fight.

Determined to prevent the fight just tomorrow too, because I know I can't hold it for long, I drift off to my dreamland of werewolves, holding Bree close to myself after kissing him on the forehead.
